> How do you folks store your stock if you don;t have indoor space?
Build a roof James.
Get your wood up off the ground. 6" is minimum but a foot is better.
(cinder blocks are cheap)
Build a roof with a --wide-- overhang all around. As much as you can
manage.
Make sure the roof sits at least a foot higher than the stack.
Pay attention to the slope of the ground, and head off seeping rainwater.
Often a simple swale (shallow ditch) will redirect rainwater away from
your protected stash.
If you put the wood on the ground, moisture will creep up and get you.
If you try using a tarp laying on the wood, water will condense on the
bottom of the tarp and eat you up from there.
Plus little air circulation under a tarp will hold whatever water you
have inside the wood, and promote warpage.
Outdoor lumber storage usually ends in disaster. Just so you know. (I
have seen many many stacks ruined from poor planning.)
It takes careful pains to keep that from happening.
yours Scott
